Synthesis and spectroscopic studies of novel mononuclear and binuclear ruthenium(III) complexes with bidentate and tridentate acyclic hydrazones

Nine novel acyclic hydrazone ligands, FINH?=?N-(furylidene)-N′-isonicotinoylhydrazine, FNH?=?N-(furylidene)-N′-nicotinoylhydrazine, PINH?=?N-(pyrienylidene)-N′-isonicotinoylhydrazine, PNH?=?N-(pyrienylidene)-N′-nicotinoylhydrazine, TINH?=?N-(thienylidene)-N′-isonicotinoylhydrazine, TNH?=?N-(thienylidene)-N′-nicotinoylhydrazine, FSH?=?N-(furylidene)-N′-salicyloylhydrazine, PSH?=?N-(pyrienylidene)-N′-salicyloylhydrazine and TSH?=?N-(thienylidene)-N′-salicyloylhydrazine, have been synthesized. Their corresponding mononuclear and binuclear ruthenium(III) complexes have been prepared by the reaction of the ligand with RuCl₃·3H₂O in 1?:?2 and 2?:?2 molar ratio and are characterized by elemental analyses, thermogravimetric analyses (TGA and DTG), IR, electronic, magnetic susceptibility and electrical conductance measurements. Electronic spectra and magnetic susceptibility measurements of the solid complexes (both mono- and binuclear) indicate an octahedral geometry around ruthenium(III). Particular emphasis is given to the binuclear complexes in which FSH, PSH and TSH behave as tridentate ligands and chloride bridges the Ru(III) ions. Conductance measurements show the mononuclear complexes are electrolytic and binuclear complexes are of non-electrolytic. The fungicidal activities of the ligands and metal complexes against Fusarium oxysporium and Aspergillus niger are described.     

Synthesis,characterization, and antimicrobial activities of two mononuclear metal(II) complexes with (Z)-3-hydroxy-4-(3-hydroxy-3-phenylacryloyl)phenyl benzoate

Two mononuclear complexes with a β-diketone ligand (Z)-3-hydroxy-4-(3-hydroxy-3-phenylacryloyl)phenyl benzoate (L), [CoL₂(CH₃CH₂OH)₂] (1), and [MnL₂(CH₃CH₂OH)₂] (2) were prepared. Both complexes were characterized by X-ray crystallography, confirming that the central metal(II) are coordinated by four oxygens from two L and two oxygens from two ethanols. Both complexes were assayed for in vitro antibacterial (Bacillus subtilis, Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus faecalis, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Escherichia coli, and Enterobacter cloacae) activities and showed better antimicrobial activity against Gram positive strains than Gram negative strains.     

Synthesis,crystal structures,and antimicrobial activities of hydrazone complexes of vanadium(V)

Two hydrazone ligands, (E)-N′-(3-bromo-2-hydroxybenzylidene)-2-methoxybenzohydrazide (HL^a) and (E)-N′-(2-hydroxy-3-methylbenzylidene)-2-methoxybenzohydrazide (HL^b), were prepared and characterized by IR, UV–vis, and ¹H NMR spectroscopy. The corresponding vanadium(V) complexes, 2[VOL^aL]·CH₃OH (1) and [VOL^bL] (2), where L is the monoanionic form of benzohydroxamic acid (HL), were prepared and characterized by IR and UV–vis spectroscopy, and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Complex 1 crystallizes as the monoclinic space group P2₁/c, with unit cell dimensions a = 14.4161(16) Å, b = 14.0745(16) Å, c = 24.069(2) Å, β = 96.247(2), V = 4854.5(9) Å³, Z = 4, R₁ = 0.0541, wR₂ = 0.1423, Goof = 1.032. Complex 2 crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group Pbca, with unit cell dimensions a = 13.5906(6) Å, b = 18.1865(11) Å, c = 18.4068(11) Å, V = 4549.5(4) Å³, Z = 8, R₁ = 0.0549, wR₂ = 0.1397, Goof = 1.054. X-ray analysis indicates that the complexes are mononuclear octahedral vanadium(V) complexes. The thermal behavior of the complexes was investigated. The hydrazone ligands and their complexes were also evaluated for their antibacterial (Bacillus subtilis, Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, and Pseudomonas fluorescence) and antifungal (Candida albicans and Aspergillus niger) activities using the MTT (3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyl tetrazolium bromide) assay. The two complexes have moderate to good activities against B. subtilis and S. aureus, and 1 has moderate activity against E. coli.     

SYNTHESIS AND STRUCTURE OF A NOVEL MONONUCLEAR TUNGSTEN (VI) CITRATO COMPLEX, (NH4)3[Li(H2O)3WO3(C6 H4O7)]

Abstract

The first mononuclear tungsten-citrato complex, (NH₄)₃[Li (H₂O)₃WO₃(C₆H₄O₇)] (1), has been prepared by the reaction of ammonium tetrathio tungstate and lithium citrate in CH₃OH-H₂O solution at pH 8.2. There are two crystallographically independent anions in the asymmetric crystallographic unit. The crystal structure of the title compound (triclinic, space group P1, a = 6.901(1), b = 15.136(3), c = 16.107(3) Å, α = 75.85(3), β = 89.89(3), γ = 89.97(3), V = 1631.4(6) ų, R = 0.068, R _W = 0.1674 for 3878 reflections with I > 2σ(I)), reveals that in the compound a tungsten atom is coordinated to a fully deprotonated citrate as a tridentate ligand and three terminal oxygen atoms to form a distorted coordination octahedron.     

Synthesis,Spectroscopic and Magnetic Studies on Metal Complexes of 5-Methyl-3-(2-Hydroxyphenyl)Pyrazole

A tridentate ONN donor ligand, 5-methyl-3-(2-hydroxyphenyl)pyrazole; H₂L, was synthesized by reaction of 2-(3-ketobutanoyl)phenol with hydrazine hydrate. The ligand was characterized by IR, ¹H NMR and mass spectra. ¹H NMR spectra indicated the presence of the phenolic OH group and the imine NH group of the heterocyclic moiety. Different types of mononuclear metal complexes of the following formulae [(HL)₂M][sdot]xH₂O (M=VO, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn and Cd), [(HL)₂M(H₂O)₂] (M=Mn and UO₂) and [(HL)LFe(H₂O)₂] were obtained. The Fe(III) complex, [(HL)LFe(H₂O)₂] undergoes solvatochromism. Elemental analyses, IR, electronic and ESR spectra as well as thermal, conductivity and magnetic susceptibility measurements were used to elucidate the structures of the newly prepared metal complexes. A square-pyramidal geometry is suggested for the VO(IV) complex, square-planar for the Cu(II), Co(II) and Ni(II) complexes, octahedral for the Fe(III) and Mn(II) complexes and tetrahedral for the Zn(II) and Cd(II) complexes, while the UO₂(VI) complex is eight-coordinate. Transmetallation of the UO₂(VI) ion in its mononuclear complex by Fe(III), Ni(II) or Cu(II) ions occurred and mononuclear Fe(III), Ni(II) and Cu(II) complexes were obtained. IR spectra of the products did not have the characteristic UO₂ absorption band and the electronic spectra showed absorption bands similar to those obtained for the corresponding mononuclear complexes. Also, transmetallation of the Ni(II) ion in its mononuclear complex by Fe(III) has occurred. The antifungal activity of the ligand and the mononuclear complexes were investigated.     

Mononuclear and Dinuclear Cobalt Complexes and its Dioxygen Adduct with a New 24-membered Hexaaza Macrocyclic Ligand

Abstract

Dinucleating 24-membered hexaazadiphenol macrocyclic ligand 3,6,9,17,20,23-hexaaza-29,30-dihydroxy-13,27-dimethyl-tricyclo[23,3,1,1^11,15] triaconta-1(29), 11,13,15(30),25,27-hexaene (L or BDBPH), is prepared by the NaBH₄ reduction of the Schiff base obtained from [2+2] template condensation of 2,6-diformyl-p-cresol with diethylenetriamine. The ligand maintains dinuclear integrity for cobalt (II) while facilitating the formation of bridging phenolate dicobalt cores. Potentiometric equilibrium studies indicate that a variety of protonated, mononuclear and dinuclear cobalt (II) complexes form from p[H] 2 through 11 in aqueous solution. The protonation constants of this ligand and stability constants of the 1:1, 1:2 ligand: cobalt(II) complexes were determined in KCl supporting electrolyte (μ = 0.100 M) at 25°C. The mechanism for the formation of dinuclear dioxygen cobalt(II) complexes is also described. The stability constants of mononuclear and dinuclear cobalt complexes were determined under nitrogen. Preliminary results show that the dinuclear dioxygen cobalt (II) complexes do not catalyze hydroxylation of adamantane in the presence of H₂S as two-electron reductant.     

Examination of the dielectrophoretic spectra of MCF7 breast cancer cells and leukocytes

The detection of circulating tumor cells (CTCs) in blood is crucial to assess metastatic progression and to guide therapy. Dielectrophoresis (DEP) is a powerful cell surface marker-free method that allows intrinsic dielectric properties of suspended cells to be exploited for CTC enrichment/isolation from blood. Design of a successful DEP-based CTC enrichment/isolation system requires that the DEP response of the targeted particles should accurately be known. This paper presents a DEP spectrum method to investigate the DEP spectra of cells without directly analyzing their membrane and cytoplasmic properties in contrast to the methods in literature, which employ theoretical assumptions and complex modeling. Integrating electric field simulations based on DEP theory with the experimental data enables determination of the DEP spectra of leukocyte subpopulations, polymorphonuclear and mononuclear leukocytes, and MCF7 breast cancer cells as a model of CTC due to their metastatic origin over the frequency range 100 kHz–50 MHz at 10 V_pp. In agreement with earlier findings, differential DEP responses were detected for mononuclear and polymorphonuclear leukocytes due to the richness of the cell surface features and morphologies of the different leukocyte types. The data reveal that the strength of the DEP force exerted on MCF7 cells was particularly high between 850 kHz and 20 MHz. These results illustrate that the proposed technique has the potential to provide a generic platform to identify DEP responses of different biological particles.     

Synthesis and coordination chemistry of new tetradentate N2S2 donor Schiff-base ligand ca2-dapte: Mononuclear and dinuclear copper(I) complexes [Cu(ca2dapte)]ClO4 and [{Cu(PPh3)(X)}2(ca2dapte)] (X = I and Br)

A mononuclear copper(I) complex, [Cu(ca₂dapte)]ClO₄ (1), and two dinuclear copper(I) complexes, [{Cu(PPh₃)(X)}₂(ca₂dapte)] (X = I (2) and Br (3)), of a new tetradentate N₂S₂ donor Schiff-base ligand ca₂dapte have been prepared (ca₂dapte = N,N′-bis(trans-cinnamaldehyde)-1,2-di(o-iminophenylthio)ethane). These compounds have been characterized by elemental analyses (CHN), FT-IR, UV–Vis and ¹H NMR spectroscopy. The crystal structures of these copper(I) complexes have been determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The coordination geometry around Cu(I) centers in these complexes is a distorted tetrahedron. The ca₂dapte is coordinated to Cu(I) as a tetradentate ligand in 1, while it acts as a bis-bidentate bridging ligand in 2 and 3.

Synthesis,structures and Hirshfeld surface analysis of Ni(II) and Co(III) complexes with N2O donor Schiff base ligand

Two octahedral complexes [NiL(HL)]ClO₄.0.5CH₃OH and [CoL₂]ClO₄ have been synthesized with N₂O donor Schiff base ligand {((2-(phenylamino)ethyl)imino)methyl}phenol (HL) and characterized by spectroscopic techniques and single crystal X-ray diffraction studies. The molar conductivities data of the two complexes show that the complexes are 1:1 electrolyte. Single crystal X-ray diffraction data shows both Ni(II) and Co(III) complexes have distorted octahedral geometry and two ligands are coordinated to the metal centers and one ClO₄⁻ ion outside the coordination sphere. The intermolecular interactions in the complexes are evaluated by Hirshfeld surface analysis and revealed a significant contribution of non- or weakly polar interactions to the packing forces for both molecules, with crystal structure of Co(III) complex featuring short H/H contacts.
